Discover the Exciting Wandsworth Wellness Weekender: A Free Community Event You Can't Miss!
Mark your calendars for the Wandsworth Wellness Weekender on March 21 and 22! This borough-wide celebration of health and well-being promises a weekend filled with free, beginner-friendly activities tailored to help residents get active and try something new. From sports to wellness classes, there's something for everyone.
Inclusive Activities for All Ages
The Wellness Weekender is designed to cater to all ages and abilities, featuring a diverse range of activities including padel, pan-disability football, Pilates, and even beach volleyball. With events hosted at leisure centres and community spaces throughout Wandsworth, participants can enjoy a day filled with fun and camaraderie while enhancing their physical well-being.
Empowering Women and Girls
This year’s program highlights a special focus on encouraging women and girls to participate in sports and physical activities. With a variety of women-and girls-only sessions, the Weekender aims to provide a safe, supportive environment where participants can build confidence while trying out new activities. Paul White, Cabinet Member for Environment, emphasized the importance of inclusivity, stating, “We hope everyone will come and give something new a try.”
Additional Festivities and Opportunities
In addition to the Wellness Weekender, Saturday, March 21 will also feature "The Beat Goes On"—a high-energy event celebrating music and movement at Battersea Power Station, marking the end of Wandsworth's tenure as London Borough of Culture. This adds an extra layer of excitement to an already action-packed weekend.
Moreover, participating leisure centres will waive joining fees for memberships during the event, and select centres will offer free fitness assessments, providing residents an excellent opportunity to kickstart their health journey. The Health Bus will also be available throughout the weekend, offering free health and well-being support to the community.
